Step into the returning Adelaide Fringe hit of the Maho Magic Bar for a mix of magic direct from Japan! Decorated with neon lights, the Maho Magic Bar is a beacon for the inquisitive, the quirky and the curious. Once you’re set up at your own personal bar – with new friend to chat to – an array of Japan’s finest trained magicians come to you to perform assortments of close up magic.

Most of this close up magic at play is slight of hand, masterfully done in some instances, with each magician bringing their own quirk to their act. Some will absolutely blow your mind in how its performed, whilst others are more simple and release a small smile of pleasure at its artistry. Lead by Erica Vanlee‘s roaming host, there’s Shirayuri‘s close-up cardistry, Kaori Kitazawa‘s wizardry in filling blank cards, Comet’s cocktail mixology, Shingo‘s clownlike balloon swallowing, and E.O. LEE‘s zany and mind-boggling mind reading

Throughout, order yourself some Japanese inspired cocktails to sip on while you’re entertained, or choose from the special menu and you’ll become the main act as each round is separated by a special variety performance. What’s more, this is fun for the whole family! There’s a good mix of humour to keep the adults in the room entertained, whilst the kids get to enjoy the goofy clowning acts that always end in surprise.

With varying times for you to enter this Japanese-inspired mix of magic artistry, there’s plenty of time for you to cut out your own slice of entertainment throughout the Fringe season.
